A teary-eyed Lily Allen has spoken for the first time about her second heartbreaking miscarriage in November last year.
“It was a really long battle and I think that kind of thing changes a person,” the 25-year-old ex-pop star who gave up music last year said.
Speaking on the Channel 4 documentary Lily Allen: Riches to Rags, to be aired in the UK, Lily talked about the experience of losing her child six months into her pregnancy with now-fiancé Sam Cooper.
Lily suffered her first miscarriage in 2008 when she was in a relationship with Ed Simons.
During the documentary, which was filmed between March and October last year, she also revealed she struggled with bulimia and body dysmorphia that made her believe she was overweight.
“I used to vomit after meals. It’s not something I’m proud of,” she said.
“But, I tell you what, a lot of people came up to me telling me how great I looked and I’d be on the cover of every magazine.
“I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to try on clothes and feel a million dollars. But I wasn’t happy, I really wasn’t.”
The three-part documentary follows Lily’s career change from singer to clothing entrepreneur as she launches a vintage clothes store, Lucy in Disguise, in London with her older sister, Sarah.
